			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I deleted all my &#8216;non&#8217; essential apps from Facebook.  By non essential I mean the apps that don&#8217;t involve any thought whatsoever.  The ones that you just click the button like Mafia Wars.  The ones that you just buy and sell stuff, like Farmville and Yoville.  I kept Lexulous because my favorite girl cousins regularly wipe the floor with me while playing.  I also held onto my Event app, WeRead and stuff like pictures and notes.</p>
<p>Facebook has become a huge time sink for me.  And I&#8217;ve been trying really hard to have more balance in my life.  Slowly weeding things out that don&#8217;t enrich me and adding back things I&#8217;ve backed away from for one reason or another.</p>
<p>Next month I&#8217;ll be blogging about the new <a href="http://www.enterthedoorwithin.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Wayne Thomas Batson</a>/<a href="http://www.christopherhopper.com/" target="_blank">Christopher Hopper</a> book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Curse-Spider-King-Berinfell-Prophecies/dp/1400315050/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1244934415&amp;sr=1-1" target="_blank"><em>Curse of the Spider King: The Berinfell Prophecies Series</em></a> with the <a href="http://csffblogtour.com/" target="_blank">CSFF</a>.   It&#8217;s YA and I don&#8217;t read much YA anymore but I do believe in supporting the genre of Christian Science Fiction and Fantasy.  Thinking about it, it&#8217;s been more than a year since I&#8217;ve blogged about a book.  I&#8217;ve continued reading.  Man have I continued reading!  But no reviews or blogging.  Wow!</p>
<p>Also planning on a return to writing. It is something I&#8217;ve been missing deeply and I am kind of surprised that it took me so long to figure out that was something that <em>was</em> missing.  There was a novel I was working on well over a year ago and the the story keeps nagging at me, nagging at me.  This is the longest something has ever stayed with me so I&#8217;m thinking I should stop ignoring it.  LOL</p>
<p>Off I go now, to get ready to go walking with a friend.  That&#8217;s something I&#8217;m adding back in too.  Spending time with friends.  Something I&#8217;m starting&#8230;.exercise.  Ick!</p>
